J. Sheridan Le Fanu Quotes

See How A Sleepy Child Will Put Off The Inevitable Departure For Bed. The Little Creature's Eyes Blink And Stare, And It Needs Constant Jogging To Prevent His Nodding Off Into The Slumber Which Nature Craves. His Waking Is A Pain; He Is Quite Worn Out, And Peevish, And Stupid, And Yet He Implores A Respite, And Deprecates Repose, And Vows He Is Not Sleepy, Even To The Moment When His Mother Takes Him In Her Arms, And Carries Him, In A Sweet Slumber, To The Nursery. So It Is With Us Old Children Of Earth And The Great Sleep Of Death, And Nature Our Kind Mother.
